ABOUT:
Another great diamond band stacker from my recent inventory trip to France. It has such a great patina, color and sparkle, with the five chunky sparkling old mine cut diamonds rising in prongs from the band which has sturdy areas of gold to the north and south of the row of diamonds. It has a sturdy shank, very stable prongs, and quality fabrication that makes it perfect to stack. Moreover, this old beauty has a great antique look but can handle regular wear with its long prongs, and open back behind the stones, which is always a joy to find with these antique pieces.
Inside is engraved faintly with initials and a date. With magnification I can make out the year of 1926. I always love the provenance of personalizations like these : )
French hallmarks for 18k gold.
There are faint inclusions to the smaller stones, and one frosty chip to one of the smaller diamonds next to the center stone. It has a shallow shard of loss but the stone appears complete to eye, you can just detect the lightly frosty surface if you really study it in a reflection. Very sturdy shank. There is a linear sizing seam in back and scuff near hallmark from a gold test (not done by me : ).
Antique box used for staging is not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Size 8. It weighs a sturdy 5.3 grams. Ring face is 6mm north to south with diamonds cropping up 4.5mm tall. The largest center diamond is about 3.5mm, then two at 2.5mm and two end stones at 2mm.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable.
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
